Recenzii
A powerful and uplifting tale of two intersecting narratives.Shane Ellis is a Deceased Affairs Officer who works for Manchester City Council. Her job is to investigate cases of the Nameless, people who have died but are unidentified. She is assigned the case of a beggar who has perished from exposure.Red is bullied, unhappy and unloved; he runs away from hometo the streets of Manchester. In the canteen of a charitableshelter he meets another rough sleeper, the fierce and enigmaticGracie. Product of an abusive childhood, she is convinced thata vagrant life is the only life worth living, and teaches him the‘Beggar’s Code’, a set of principles by which she survives in abrutal and dangerous world.Shane’s investigation soon leads her to the story of Red andGracie. In their dignity against the odds she finds the key toovercoming a terrible loss of her own, and across time andspace their lives interlink in a tale of grief, hope and redemption.
'The author expertly manoeuvres between different aspects of homelessness with sensitivity and insight, which include heartbreak, hunger and hostility towards ‘muggles’ (the non-homeless). The book also analyses the role of homelessness in society and offers a variety of fascinating perspectives you might not have even considered. In all, Beggar Bee Nameless successfully brings together the experiences of those on and off the street, reminding us that if we all walked in step with one another, the world would be a better place. It is more than worth the read.'- Anna
